Acoustic-phonetic features for the automatic classification of stop consonants.

Acoustic-phonetic features for the automatic classification of stop consonants.

In this paper, the acoustic-phonetic characteristics of the American English stop consonants are investigated. Features studied in the literature are evaluated for their information content and new features are proposed. A statistically guided, knowledge-based, acoustic-phonetic system for the autom...
